88000000000121877 Yes, Ladies, you read me right…  there are two amazing handbag sales happening on Ideeli starting Wednesday, December 30th at 11am EST.

Binge or Bargain: Python Embossed Leather Hobo

By kristen, 20 November, 2009, No Comment

As you can see, handbags are definitely a weakness of ours at Cool Mama Style.com. We all love to rock a nice bag! Even if your outfit is so-so, a great bag gives you WOW factor.

_5912934While perusing through the latest Nordstrom mailer, we noticed this gorgeous Kooba python embossed leather hobo, which retails for $625. If you can afford it, this bag is to die for–we give it 2 thumbs up! 

Although gorgeous, this bag is not necessarily affordable to most moms on a budget. This got us thinking of a new idea for our blog…Inspiration or Affordable! Why can’t we have the same look for less?

Well, guess what WE found! Keeping our inspiration bag in mind, check out this affordable look-alike we found on buy.com! This Jessica Simpson Rock n Roll Hobo is a $522 savings over the Inspiration bag!

212812339Deal alert! Buy.com is currently offering a new customer discount–$5 off of $100.  Plus, they are offering Free Shipping!  This bag is a cool $103 after the discount, so don’t waste any time!

We recommend either bag for a classic, sophisticated addition to any outfit. Whatever your budget allows, you’ll be looking good!

Helpful hint: Don’t mix large prints with a snakeskin bag–too busy. Also, your bag does not have to match your shoes, so don’t stress about finding the perfect python shoes to match!

Your New Fall Handbag…

By Michelle, 15 November, 2009, 1 Comment

 While our outside scenery may be lacking in color and vibrancy, our wardrobe and accessories should not!  I just purchased a new plum handbag for my birthday from the Coach Store and I have been stopped more times than I can count in the past few weeks about this bag.  I will tell you that I will not put this particular handbag in the “bargain” or “deal” category, but this posting is more relational to the trend of Fall handbags in general.

This is the new Maggie bag from the Madison Collection that I just purchased from Coach in the past few weeks.  The plum color is beautiful and I am complimented daily on this bag.  This bag retails for $348 at Coach.com.  (As I mentioned, not exactly a bargain.)  But, what I want to point out is that the trend this Fall is COLOR..  Teal, Plum, Berry, Cobalt…  the list is endless!  Do not be intimidated by a colored bag that may not “match” what you are wearing…  I carry this bag with everything I wear.. from Black to Grey to Red to Teal.  Do not get boxed in with the basic Black or Brown bag… take a step out of the box and add a pop of color!

14336_a9While I absolutely LOVE the Maggie Bag from Coach because it is not only beautiful but functional with the smaller compartments that make organization easy, it may not make sense for your budget.  As you add to your wardrobe this Fall, keep an eye out for a colored bag that is both functional and stylish and fits your budget.   Remember… your bag should not just be  a “pretty” face. 

 Happy Handbag Hunting…  ~Michelle
